US gas prices rose around 5 pct in late April: Survey

The average price of regular-grade gasoline in the United States rose about 5 percent in the past two weeks to $2.58 per gallon, according to the Lundberg survey released on Sunday.

The 13 cent per gallon increase brought U.S. gasoline prices to their highest point so far in 2015, according to Trilby Lundberg, publisher of the survey. Still, prices are substantially lower than one year ago, when gasoline cost around $3.69 per gallon.
